THE TELEGRAPH SERVICE.
Louisville Courier Journal.

Louisville Courier Journal.
The purchase by the Western Union OF
the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph lines is
the occasion of much senseless talk about
government telegraph line, postal saw
iDgs bank and other devices of paternal-
ism, which. it is assumed, have done 80
well elsewhere. One of there dreamers
even suggests the building of hotels ST
health resorts by the government, TO
which the poor are to be admitted free.
Generally when man is unable to take
care OF himself he tries to live by the
LABOR OF others. Almshouses are pro-
Vlded for that class, but these ipstitu-
tlons are not respec able; these philan-
throplsts wish to relieve the paupers and
mendlcants OF the accompanying eproach,
and so we have innumerable suggestion s
OF methods by which the government is to
furnish all the comforts Of lite, without
cost, to those who apply.
Just now the demand is for q gov
eminent telegraph. We are told that an
awful fate is in store for q country in
which one con pany controls the tele-
graph. A government telegraph is said
to be necessity TO prevent Mr.. Gould
IRON falsiiying the election returns, and
doing other reprehensible things.
But Mr.. Gould and his fellow freeboot.
ers cannot have any peculiar interest in
altering the returns, nor have they any
peculiar facility for the work.
The news is gathered by two or more
press associations, made no of Journals
of all kinds of political faith. The news
Is transmitted under contract, and the
nh 10 IN Of
bic for it. In 1876 it was not the tele-
graph company which falsified the re.
turns; it WAS done by officers OF the
state boards and prominent politicians
who were afterwGrd rewarded by their
party for their services.
In 1884 it was not the Western Union,
but 1t was Mr.. Blaine who telegrapned to
western editors to claim everything. Il
was not the Western Union, but politi-
cal journal, the New YORK Tribune, which
furnished the false returns on which
these claims were to be based.
Now change this condition of affairs !;
place the telegraph lines under govern
ment control, make each operator sub
lect TO party dictation, and then say what
assurance the people would have for fair
play.
10 the past the custom-house, the post
Offices and the internal revenue depart
ment have been the strongholds Of parti.
san disagreement, but under the con.
troll OF "star-routers" aud others, the tel.
egreph, when monopolized by the govern.
ment, would be far more effective than
any otner agency in thwartiDa the will OF
.ae people. Great as are the evils Of
@onopoiy they are aggravated by simply

THE STATE OF TRADE,
Special kilograms to Bradstreet's from
leading business centers throughout the
United States note continuance Of the
check to the distribution Of general mer.
chandise first reported in this column one
week ago. At Kansas City, relatively one
of the most active domestic trade centers,
there is reported only moderate activity
| among interior buyers, with fewer goods
moving. At St. Joseph trade ia fair in
grocery and hardware lines but not SO
goodiin others. At Burlington, iowa, there
has been falling off also, notably in dry
goods, and while business is active at
Omaha in the leading departments owing
to more numerous orders, the takings are
smaller. At st Louis the autumn move =
ment has ended; at St. Paul the volume
of distribution is called fair only; at
Louisville the jobbing trade is declining,
and at Cincinnati tn movement is dlssp-
pointing. New York and Philadelphia
report moderate activity. There is no
change at Baltimore, aud at Boston
there is fair volume Of business
only, less in dry goods, but rather more
in wool. San Francisco reports husi-
ness quiet, wheat very dull, and 1000
tons of Hawaiian sugar received this
year to October l, with shipments of
40, 600 tons. New Orleans, with heavy
sugar receipts and resulting brisk inte-
rior request; Pittsourg, with brisk pro-
duction of and demand for iron and
coal, and Chicago, with satisfactory
average Of transactions, with an active
aud increasing volume of business at
Denver form the noticeable exceptions.
Collections are least prompt at Kansas
City and Galveston, far only at Louis
vile, Memphis, Burlington, St, Joseph,
New Orleans and Savannah, but improved
at Omaha, st. Paul and Chicago.
